I have a new design coming out in time for market and I've called it Quaker Values. It is stitched on R& R Reproductions "American Chestnut" with Weeks Dye Works and Gentle Arts Sampler threads. I've never seen Quaker people on a Quaker sampler before and thought it might be different to include them plus seven different words that typify their values. There is a red rose border and full and half medallions. I hope you'll enjoy this one as I had a fun time creating it.

This is really a lovely design, well balanced, and includes so many really pretty motifs. I'll be looking for it as soon as it is available at the OLNS....Wish you well with the sale, but I think from looking at this that you will probably have hundreds of orders!

Hi Deborah, I have just discovered you through a link on Chelle's blog, where she mentions this beautiful design. It is just stunning; I would like to say that I may stitch it one day, but with a cupboard full of UFOs and SINS (Stuff I'll Never Stitch) now, I'd be dreaming - lol!Nice to 'meet' you - I'll be back!

Me again - I have just spent a very enjoyable 15 minutes reading through your entire blog. I think I've found another soul mate.. Apart from the fact that I don't have any children, I am in agreement with just about all your opinions on all your posts!Hugs, Gina in Melbourne

Methinks it is a token of healthy and gentle characteristics, when women of high thoughts and accomplishments love to sew; especially as they are never more at home with their own hearts than while so occupied Nathaniel Hawthorne
